Living with Pawlie is like sharing a house with a part-time cat, full-time criminal, and a professional food inspector. 🐾😂
We brought Pawlie home after the breeder called us on April Fools’ Day to say he was ours.
Fitting, really, because it feels like the joke’s been on us ever since. 😅🐶
I’m starting to suspect we accidentally signed up for a food-obsessed toddler trapped in the body of a dog who moonlights as a cat, a thief, and a chaos gremlin. 😈
☀️ Morning routine:
🐾 Rolls out of bed half-asleep, looking like he’s survived a three-day bender.
🍽 Stumbles straight to his food bowl. No eye contact, no tail wag, no “good morning” until he’s confirmed breakfast has passed inspection. ✅
Then it’s breakfast ➡️ quick bathroom break ➡️ full-speed dash back to bed like he’s trying to outrun his own responsibilities. 🏃He doesn’t resurface until lunchtime.
🐔 Emotional Support Chicken:
Yes, he brings it into the bath with him. 🛁
Sometimes he just stares at it like they’ve been through some things together.
📦 Cat-like tendencies:
Plays in cardboard boxes.
Sits inside them. Pounces in them.
Pretty sure he’s one Amazon delivery away from fully identifying as feline. 🐱📦
🕵️ Criminal activity:
When it’s quiet? That’s not peace. That’s the sound of Pawlie committing crimes.
🗑 Bathroom garbage? Raided.
🧻 Toilet paper roll? Gone.
The evidence? Shredded like a mob hit. 💀
🍽 Floor food policy:
If it’s on the floor, he’ll eat it. Doesn’t matter if it’s food or a random screw from the toolbox. He’s not picky, he’s dedicated.
🏃 Zoomies:
Random 6 p.m. sprints that end in a dramatic flop on the couch ➡️ instant sleep.
We call these The Sleepy Time Ha Ha’s. 😂💤
🎯 Annoying attention tactic:
Jams slobbery toys into my thighs. Over. And. Over. Wags his tail like, “You love this game!”
I don’t, Pawlie. I don’t.
But somehow…
He’s the funniest, weirdest, most ridiculous little creature, and I wouldn’t trade him for anything. ❤️
Except maybe for one morning where I can drink my coffee ☕ without Pawlie storming the kitchen like Gordon Ramsay inspecting a failing restaurant.
Or a week without finding toilet paper shreds in the hallway. 🎉🧻
